To combat the player, he summons ZekromB/ReshiramW. Within the castle's throne room, N tells the player that his goal is to create separate worlds for both humans and Pokémon, saying that he is willing to battle even if his Pokémon are hurt. Cheren arrives, and he and Alder ask the player to stop him. When the player arrives, N summons his Castle from the earth, which attaches itself to the Pokémon League, and as he enters the Castle, he challenges the player to face him. When the player challenges the Pokémon League, after beating the Elite Four, the player finds N with Alder, the Champion, arguing over the use of Pokémon as tools. He is again encountered at the Chargestone Cave, where he battles the player, and lastly, in Dragonspiral Tower, where he found ZekromB/ReshiramW for his plans. It is confirmed after the ride, when a group of Plasma Grunts address him as their leader, and he battles the player to allow them time to get away. During this excursion, N reveals that he is the leader of Team Plasma Ghetsis had asked him to assist him in Team Plasma's liberation of Pokémon. He again appears outside of the Nacrene Gym, for another battle, and later at Nimbasa City, where he asks the player to talk to him while riding the Rondez-View Ferris Wheel. The player first meets N in Accumula Town after Team Plasma's public rally and Ghetsis's speech, where he challenges the player to a Pokémon battle. During the ceremony, as the other sages watch, N remembers his childhood spent with his Pokémon friends. In Black and White, N is first seen in the game's prologue movie, in which N, clothed in special garb, is crowned by Ghetsis in the throne room of a castle. The Seven Sages educated him in many subjects. It is revealed by Anthea and Concordia in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 that N was an orphan raised by Pokémon in a forest until he was taken in by Ghetsis. Pokémon have played with his toys, as his skateboard is covered in claw marks and scratches. Based on the contents of his room in N's Castle, as a child he appeared to be interested in skateboarding, transportation (such as planes and trains), basketball, and darts. Ghetsis would only let N see Pokémon that had been hurt by humans. According to Concordia, "N's heart is pure and innocent." At several points during the game he appears before the player to battle.Īs a child, he was raised together with Pokémon and was isolated from humans. He is an anti-villain, being the secondary antagonist, yet a good natured person who sees Pokémon as his friends and is generally rather amicable toward the player as well. As he grew up, he was appointed as the king and leader of Team Plasma. N was raised by Ghetsis, the internal leader of the Seven Sages.
